  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Rewriting Theatre History in the Light of Dramatic Translations
    Quaderns de Filologia. Estudis literaris. Vol. XV (2010) 195-218 TEXT, LIES, AND LINGUISTIC RAPE: REWRITING THEATRE HISTORY IN THE LIGHT OF DRAMATIC TRANSLATIONS John London Goldsmiths, University of London Grup de Recerca en Arts Escèniques, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Although the translation of dramatic texts has received considerable scholarly attention in the last twenty years, a great deal of this energy has been devoted to theoretical or practical issues concerned with staging. The specific linguistic features of performed translations and their subsequent reception in the theatrical culture of their host nations have not been studied so prominently. Symptomatic of this is the sparse treatment given to linguistic translation in general analyses of theatrical reception (Bennett, 1997: 191- 196). Part of the reluctance to examine the fate of transformed verbal language in the theatre can be attributed to the kinds of non-text-based performance which evolved in the 1960s and theoretical discourses which, especially in France, sought to dislodge the assumed dominance of the playtext. According to this reasoning, critics thus paid “less attention to the playwrights’ words or creations of ‘character’ and more to the concept of ‘total theatre’ ” (Bradby & Delgado, 2002: 8). It is, above all, theatre history that has remained largely untouched by detailed linguistic analysis of plays imported from another country and originally written in a different language. While there are, for example, studies of modern European drama in Britain (Anderman, 2005), a play by Shakespeare in different French translations (Heylen, 1993) or non-Spanish drama in Spain (London, 1997), these analyses never really become part of mainstream histories of British, French or Spanish theatre.

  • The Clown and the Institution
    1 Chapter One: ON THE EDGE, LOOKING OUT 2 I was seven when my Mother’s father, Grandpa, took me down to the beach one summer’s day. I remember that we walked from our bungalow in Bournemouth, down to the front. I picture quite clearly the yellow trolley buses, like giant insects. I smell the crackle of the sparks of electricity from their arms, mingled with the sweetish smell of the sea. I see Grandpa, white hair sticking out from under his cap, horn-rimmed glasses, and a tweed overcoat, which he always wore. We wandered along the busy promenade, him pointing out interesting sights, just like Romany from ‘Out with Romany by the Sea.’ I read this a couple of years later, lying on a bunk in the back cabin of their houseboat when I stayed there one summer, whilst Mum was having another baby and Dad was up in London, working for the Admiralty. Reading the book, with its rough, red cardboard cover, embossed with gilt, was better than actually being by the sea. Yet I could smell the sea through the open porthole. And a faint smell of seaweed came from its mildew stained, cut pages. But this particular day was ‘Out with Romany by the Beach’ and was the real thing. He found a spot on the warm sand for us to sit down. Eventually he took off his coat, grudgingly admitting to the hot day, revealing a creased white short-sleeved shirt. I changed out of my clothes, pulled on my bathers, and started digging furiously with my spade.

  • Constructing Political Theatre: Discursive and Practical Frameworks for Theatre As an Agent for Change
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Open Research Exeter Rebecca Hillman (Re)constructing Political Theatre: Discursive and Practical Frameworks for Theatre as an Agent for Change In 2015 the concept of live performance as having efficacy to instigate political change is contested, yet some politically motivated performance has demonstrably facilitated change, and critical frameworks have been developed that account for performances that hold clear political stances. However, even where arguments exist for the enduring relevance of political performance, certain models of practice tend to be represented as more efficacious and sophisticated than others. In this article, inspired by her recent experiences of making political theatre, Rebecca Hillman asks to what extent prevalent discourses may nurture or repress histories and futures of political theatre. She revaluates the contemporary relevance of agitprop theatre made in British contexts in the 1960s and 1970s by comparing academic analyses of the work with less well- documented critiques by the practitioners and audiences of agitprop. She documents also the fluctuation and transformation rather than the dissipation, of political activism in the final decades of the twentieth century. Rebecca Hillman is a director and playwright, and works as a Lecturer in Drama at the University of Exeter. Key terms: agitprop, efficacy, protest, activism, class, community organizing, practice as research. IN 2009, in his book Theatre and Politics, Joe Kelleher asserted that ‘theatre’s instrumentalism [and] use as a means of guiding our actions and changing the world, does not work – never did [and] never will’ (Kelleher, 2009, p.

  • 1 Who's Afraid of Dario Fo? Paratextual Commentary in English
    Who’s afraid of Dario Fo? Paratextual commentary in English-language versions of Accidental Death of an Anarchist Marion Dalvai This article analyzes the paratextual commentary in six English versions of Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist. In the paratexts, translators, adaptors and literary critics engage with two problems: Fo’s permission to freely adapt his texts, on the one hand, and the demand for fidelity in a philological sense, on the other. Keywords: theatre translation, paratextual commentary, translation, adaptation, authenticity in translation. Cet article analyse les commentaires paratextuels dans six versions anglaises de Mort accidentelle d’un anarchiste par Dario Fo. Traducteurs, adaptateurs et critiques littéraires font face à deux problèmes: d’un côté, la permission que donne Fo de adapter librement ses textes et, de l’autre côté, l’exigence de rester fidèle dans un sens philologique à l’original. Mots clés : traduction théâtrale, commentaire paratextuel, traduction, adaptation, authenticité en traduction Morte accidentale di un anarchico, one of Dario Fo’s best known plays, is based on a true story: in 1969, a railway worker, Giuseppe Pinelli, was accused of involvement in the Piazza Fontana bombing in Milan. During police questioning, Pinelli fell to his death from a window on the fourth floor, raising the question as to whether he jumped or was pushed. In the play, the central figure called the “Matto” – variously translated as “the Maniac” or “the Madman”– resorts to playing different roles (a high court judge, a police officer, a bishop) in order to show that the true culprits were the policemen interrogating the anarchist.

    Handlist 123 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Brotherton Collection MS 20c Theatre West Yorkshire Playhouse FROM THE LEEDS PLAYHOUSE TO THE WEST YORKSHIRE PLAYHOUSE STAGE I In the 1960s, Leeds was the largest City in the country without a regional theatre - a professional producing management presenting plays in its own theatre. A small but enthusiastic group of local people had started a campaign in 1964 for a permanent Repertory Theatre (the full story of the campaign is told in Doreen Newlyn's book "Theatre Connections"). Planning permission had been obtained for a site near the Town Hall but spending cuts led to the postponement of the original plan and in 1969, the Leeds Theatre Trust Ltd (incorporated in 1968) decided to search for existing premises which could be transformed into a temporary theatre. After many disappointments, the University of Leeds agreed to lend the Trust, rent-free, the site of a proposed sports hall which cutbacks had forced them to postpone building. The conditions were that the Trust would build the shell and put the Theatre in it in such a way that it could all be removed at the end of a ten year period, whereupon the University would convert the building into a sports hall. The Theatre, designed by Bill Houghton Evans, was built for £150,000 and after six years of persistence, finally opened on Thursday 16th September 1970 with the world premiere of Alan Plater's "Simon Says". Throughout the campaign, there was tremendous support from members of the acting profession including Peter O'Toole, Dame Diana Rigg, Michael Hordern, Rodney Bewes, Dame Sybil Thorndike, Dame Judi Dench and James Mason.
